We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before
leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I’m expecting…
I spent all day trying to figure out my expectations for my
trip and I found it to be extremely difficult. How do you write about
things that right now seem so unfathomable? I read past and current
racers’ blogs and to see what God is doing through them and how much they are
growing…it’s AMAZING. Going on this trip is going to be life changing in
so many ways. So much of me wants it to be August today. I
can’t wait to start this journey and begin growing and changing…but today I
finally figured something out…my journey has already started and God is already working
on me and through me.
of my other expectations include…
– to miss my family and friends but I also expect them to send me
lots of emails, pictures, and cards. J
-my “normal” to change.
– to miss watching 24 with my sister and brother-in-law but I
expect them to wait for me to watch the newest season.
– God to speak to me and to my team.
– God to speak through me and through my team.
– to run with Kenyans…at least I HOPE so!
– to learn to fully rely on God.
–
to lean on my teammates
– to learn to fully trust God and people.
– to learn to love unconditionally.
–
my team to become my family.
–
to eat really amazing food.
–
to eat food that I don’t
necessarily know what it is.
–
to use bathrooms in really strange places.
–
to see
things I will
never forget.
–
to meet people who leave a lasting
impact in my life.
–
to cry…for every emotion under the
sun.
– to
make lasting friendships.
– to have the time of my life
